Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located behind the taverna, offering easy access to the beach with sun beds. The rooms are spacious and modern, providing a comfortable stay. The service is attentive, especially with the room service, but the car hire service might be a bit overpriced. The location is ideal for those looking to relax by the beach and enjoy the local taverna in the evening. The dining experience offers fresh and delicious vegetables. However, the Wi-Fi connectivity can be inconsistent, and there is no complimentary welcome drink upon arrival.
The hotel is conveniently located behind the taverna, making it easy to enjoy evening meals out. The rooms with a kitchenette were spacious and modern, offering great value for money. I found the service to be top-notch with a warm welcome drink upon arrival. However, being on the flight path for the main airport in Crete could be a downside for those sensitive to noise.
